How’s the hours and culture in real estate tax group in PwC New York office? I’m currently in other big 4 RE group but my friend (a first year) said she really likes working in PwC and her hours so far is not so bad. Can anyone share some insights? I don’t expect a full work life balance but I would really wish that I can only have winter and fall busy seasons instead of a freaking whole year.

Stay as far away as possible from PwC RE group. It’s the worst. You will be busy from jan to oct. working 70 hours plus a week including both days of the weekend

I am a senior at a top 50 regional firm and have been here for a year. Prior to this was 2 years at a smaller firm. I am interviewing in industry and have not landed a gig yet.

I am thinking about making a switch to a top 10 PA firm and sticking it out until manager and then reevaluating a move to industry. If my ultimate goal is to move to industry, would you suggest moving to a larger PA firm for brand recognition?
